Why bother with dating when you already have a cat?

Hey.

Sometimes, even a clever little fish needs to play dumb. This way, both the fish and Ai Qing will be happy, which is the best outcome.

Xiao Yu smelled the reassuring scent emanating from Ai Qing and hugged him tightly, perfectly enjoying the moment.

"The two of you."

At that moment, the window of a private room on the second floor of the internet cafe was opened.

Kong Fugui poked his head out from inside and said to the two people cuddling downstairs, "We've been waiting here for almost half an hour."

"I understand that picking someone up takes time, but could you please not show off your love in front of the internet cafe? Passersby are innocent."

"If you two want to get intimate, come to the private room first. Don't hurt innocent people. Let Lao Wu and me bear all of this."

Upon hearing Kong Fugui's voice, Ai Qing quickly pressed down on Xiaoyu's shoulder and gently pushed her away.

"Alright, alright, let's go upstairs, my friends are waiting."

"Oh..." Reluctantly leaving Ai Qing's embrace, Xiao Yu looked up at Kong Fugui, obediently followed Ai Qing into the internet cafe, and quietly hummed.

This guy named Kong Fugui is so annoying, why does he have to bother me and Ai Qing when we're getting intimate?

Ai Qing usually wouldn't hug me like this, so this time I finally had a reasonable excuse to hug her for a while.

And then I was disturbed again.

I'm so angry!

Xiaoyu was upset, but she remained obedient and followed Aiqing into the internet cafe, where they arrived at a private room on the second floor.

Ai Qing pushed open the door and led Xiao Yu inside.

Wu Yong was still seated in the innermost seat.

Next to him is Kong Fugui.

The private room was a five-person seating arrangement. Ai Qing glanced at the computer and found that the computer next to her had been turned on and was working properly.

So he pulled Xiaoyu down to sit and asked Kong Fugui, "Want to play some chicken? I'll teach her how to play first."

“Okay.” Kong Fugui nodded. “Let’s start with a tutorial game. We won’t worry about winning or losing. We’ll just go to a safe place in the wild and teach you the game’s controls and rules first.”

"Okay, then let's do it this way."

Ai Qing nodded and helped Xiao Yu open PUBG on her computer.

Kong Fugui has several accounts; just lend one to Xiaoyu.

The little fish doesn't know what games to play yet, but as long as there are games to play, that's definitely a good thing.

While Ai Qing was helping her open the game, Xiao Yu took out the plastic bag she had brought, opened it, took out two bags of potato chips, and handed them to Kong Fugui and Wu Yong.

"Here, something delicious."

"Huh? You even brought snacks?" Kong Fugui was a little surprised, then smiled and took them. "Thanks, Ai Qing is so lucky, she deserves it!"

"Thank you." Wu Yong thanked her and accepted the gift. He looked at Xiaoyu, then at Ai Qing, and sighed as he thought of his blind date.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

"Let's go to the training ground to familiarize ourselves with the controls first," Ai Qing said after thinking for a moment. "You two play another game first, and after I teach her how to play, we'll come to a tutorial game."

"also."

After taking the potato chips from his younger siblings, Kong Fugui opened them and started tasting them. He then played a game with Wu Yongxian, putting on his headphones and entering the battle.

On the other side, under Xiaoyu's curious gaze, Ai Qing logged into Kong Fugui's alternate account and entered the game interface.

"This game is quite different from Fire and Water in the Forest. It's much more difficult, and the theme and gameplay are completely different. Just treat it as your first time playing a game."

"What's the name of this game?" Little Fish asked curiously.

"Eat chicken."

"Huh? Is it a game related to eating?"

"Uh... no, that's not it." Ai Qing glanced at the two people next to her to make sure they were wearing headphones and could barely hear them, then explained, "The game's real name is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a battle royale shooting game."

"It's okay if you don't understand at first, you'll understand once you start playing."

"But after I teach you how to play, the four of us will play together."

"Don't say anything too strange then, okay?"

"Mmm!" Little Fish nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, brother."

"Alright, now I'll teach you some basic operations." Ai Qing led her into the PUBG training ground, took her hand, and pressed the "WASD" keys on the keyboard. "Try it, you are now controlling the character in the game. These four keys are the forward, backward, left, and right direction keys."

To make it easier for Xiaoyu to understand, Ai Qing used the third-person perspective mode of TPS, which allowed her to clearly see the character she was controlling.

"Is this the girl in there?" Xiaoyu's eyes widened slightly. "Is this a video? But she doesn't look quite like the real person."

"You can think of her like the Ice Maiden from Fire and Ice in the Forest. She's a created virtual character who doesn't actually exist. She can only be controlled by you and can be resurrected infinitely."

Ai Qing tried her best to explain in a way that the little fish could understand.

As soon as he explained it, Xiaoyu quickly understood.

"So now I need to control her and guide her through the levels?"

"It's not about passing through levels, it's about killing people with a gun and being the last one standing."

"kill?!"

Xiaoyu covered her mouth and gasped, looking at Ai Qing with disbelief. Then she whispered very softly, "Brother, murder is illegal!"

Ai Qing: "..."

Chapter 106 Domestic Violence

After much effort, I finally explained to Xiaoyu that killing in the game is just a form of expression, an imitation of reality, not actual killing.

Xiaoyu doesn't yet fully understand or accept the true nature of computer games, which are virtual entities.

However, often you need to experience it firsthand to know exactly what it's all about.

"I'll teach you the most basic controls first. This is how you walk in all directions. Press this key to start running."

"Hmm! It's moving!" Xiaoyu felt it was amazing; she only pressed a key on the keyboard, and the person on the computer actually followed the action in real time.

Although I could control the Ice Maiden in the same way when I played Fire and Ice in the Forest before.

However, the controls of a 2D side-scrolling game and the controls of a highly realistic 3D character feel like completely different things.

Especially since this is a female character, wearing pretty clothes, the immersion in the character of Xiaoyu is quite strong.

All I can say is that Kong Fugui is not short of money; even his alt account has a bunch of skins. Whether he is skilled or not is hard to say, but he certainly can't lose in terms of appearance.

"Then this is how you pick up items, and this is how you open your backpack to use the items inside." Ai Qing taught Xiao Yu step by step, starting with the most basic key presses, and also opened the training ground on her own computer to demonstrate to her.

Although it was based on the Forest Fireboy and Watergirl game, the operation logic of that kind of mini-game was simple, with only four buttons: up, down, left, and right.

The controls for large-scale games like PUBG are much more complex, requiring not only keyboard and mouse coordination but also familiarity with many buttons.

To be honest, Ai Qing would actually recommend playing some shooting games like CrossFire with Xiao Yu. The controls are simpler, so it would be more suitable as a transitional tutorial.

Playing PUBG right from the start is quite difficult.

For someone like Ai Qing, who hadn't played many computer games during her student years, it took her at least a month to get used to playing PUBG in college before she gradually found the feel for the controls.

For someone like Xiaoyu, a complete beginner to computer games who started from scratch, the level of difficulty is on a completely different level.

The only good news is...

The little fish has a very strong ability to learn and accept information.

At least in terms of these basic operations, Xiaoyu learned them quite quickly.

It was only when she got to the shooting part, where she had to use a mouse, that she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother, this thing shakes so much!" Little Fish frowned, gripping the mouse. "Why does it shake so badly when it fires?"

“Um… in reality this is called a gun, it’s a weapon,” Ai Qing explained. “Humans use these things when they fight each other.”

"When you click the mouse, the corresponding action in the game is to press the trigger of the gun, and then the bullet in the chamber will be fired."

"Do you remember the physics I taught you before? Forces act in pairs."

"When you fire a bullet, the faster it flies, the more force you need to provide, and your own body has to bear the corresponding reaction force."

"We call the reaction force of a firearm when it is fired recoil. If this force is not controlled properly, a person's body will shake."

"You see, you can do it like this: when you hold down the mouse button, slowly drag it down to control this shaking."

"We call this 'pressing the gun'."

Xiaoyu listened to Ai Qing's explanation with only a partial understanding, tried to imitate his operation, but still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Ai Qing didn't insist. These kinds of operational skills would become muscle memory after playing them a lot.

"So, what's the point of this game?" Little Fish was still a bit confused, wondering what was so fun about it. "Is it just shooting?"

"Look over there." Seeing that Xiaoyu had roughly memorized the most frequently used buttons, Ai Qing pulled her to look at Kong Fugui's screen next to her.

He then patted Kong Fugui on the shoulder, pried open one of his earphones, and said, "Open the map."

Then I put the headphones back on him.

Kong Fugui glanced at him, then found a room to stay in and opened the map to show them both.

“Look, this map is the battlefield in the game,” Ai Qing said. “We’ll form teams of four, and there will be a total of one hundred people, with 25 teams landing here.”

"What we need to do is gather resources, defeat the other 24 teams, and survive to the end of the game. Do you understand?"

"Huh?" Little Fish blinked and asked, "Then why kill others? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to cooperate? Brother, you told me before that cooperation and win-win is the best way."

"These are the rules of the game... If you don't attack others, they'll kill you. Cooperating with people who aren't your teammates is against the rules in the game."

"Hmm..." Little Fish scratched his face, not quite understanding the fun of the game.

Ai Qing wasn't in a hurry; she simply helped her get familiar with the controls. After Kong Fugui finished a game, the four of them teamed up together.

"Don't talk nonsense, understand?" Ai Qing whispered in Xiao Yu's ear, turning off the team's voice chat.

Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, looking nervous. The thought of going to the battlefield soon made her whole body tense.
